A mixed bag on The Big Fish

Pictured a mixed bag of bream and whiting, in Scott's sink, ready for filleting.

This week on The Big Fish we talk about mixed bags. On a recent trip, with Big Fish Sydney correspondent, Peter La Blang, I was impressed by the speed and versatility of Pittwater Pete's tackle changes.

In the blink of an eye we were geared up for squid jigging, down rigging live bait for giant kingys, drifting for flathead, jewfish and anything else on offer.

Peter will talk about his techniques and theory's on targeting what's on offer.

Our experts Stinker, Snapper, The Weighmaster and Bushy will also share their thoughts on targeting a mixed bag.

We kick out this morning with another edition of 'know your natives', Dr Stewart Rowland talks about the fight to bring back one of the best eating and fighting fish of the inland rivers, the Silver Perch.

I'd like to hear how the big fish experts would approach an imaginary estuary. You could post a aerial photo of said estuary. Perhaps something from the other side of the world and imagine it is somewhere on the NSW coast. Where would the experts start and move to as the tide changed? What rigs? Where would fish species be likely found as the tide swirled around?

Hi Adrian,

That is an absolutely brilliant idea. We will source a typical estuary map, mark the different location, tide, temperature, season etc. and let the experts share their thoughts on how, when and where to fish.
